Ms R?is?n Greaney:

We would suggest that alternatives must be made available before reducing subsidies. An example of that could be specifically targeting low income households, households reliant on solid fuels and people who are at risk of living in energy poverty, first and foremost. Once those things are done, there is then potential scope to reduce some of those welfare-related fossil fuel subsidies, but only when it does not exacerbate underlying inequalities. The same goes for transport.
